Seems to me to be stretching a point ... sure, "anything" can be political, but then we dilute the term to meaninglessness. What would be a political song if an anti-nuke song is not political?

That Wavy Gravy introduction was labelled on a tape I acquired long ago as "Wavy Gravy Rap". I remember being disappointed when it turned out not to be a new song! Actually, in view of the fact that loads of new tunes were debuted at this show, maybe I wasn't that stupid .... okay, okay maybe there's no excuse.

It's a very, very good show.
